5 Reasons to take Your Business to the Golf Course

Corporate golf days are nothing new. Talking business on the course whether with your own employees or with potential clients is a great way to break down barriers and strengthen relationships. We’re here with 5 great reasons why corporate golf days are more popular than ever, and how to make the best out of your own golf event.

1. It’s Professional

A business dinner and drinks might sound nice but they can often turn out to be unprofessional, with some people having one too many drinks. Golf events are inherently professional and therefore a great environment to talk business. Onsite event planners are often provided to make sure your corporate event plays out smoothly and you don’t have to worry about things like registration, scoring and handing out goody bags.

2. Marketing Opportunities

Corporate golf days create the sudden need for branded golf t-shirts, towels, caps, sunglasses… the list is endless and you can get really creative with branding! Nobody looks a gift horse in the mouth and well-designed, branded items can really leave a good impression.

3. Golf Estates are Beautiful

Golf courses are generally in beautiful parts of the world, and are normally maintained to a very high standard. Luscious manicured fields of green, lakes of clear blue water – golf days play off in a beautiful setting. Golf estates make a big effort to keep things pristine and work hard to exceed customer expectations. Clients and employees alike will jump at the chance to trade in cinderblock walls and traffic for a day out in nature – and that without taking a day off!

4. Corporate Golf Day Packages aren’t that Expensive

Most companies have a solid budget for corporate events as they see the value in them, and a golf day won’t break the bank. Golf estates offer special package deals at affordable rates that cover the costs of golfing, food and refreshments, with optional add-ons such as branded items and prize tables. You’d be surprised at how fast the prices go up when you try to arrange an event like this yourself and start booking things separately.

5. Hassle-Free Booking

Gone are the days of driving out to golf courses and trying to judge if the spaces are appropriate for your event. Online booking forms for corporate golf days make it easy to look through the different packages available, view the locations on a map and send in a detailed query in the space of a few minutes.

Corporate golf days don’t have to be a tremendous bore or an extravagant expense that you’ll need to justify to the CEO. Traditional 18-hole courses can be given a fun twist and paired with tasty bites and refreshing cocktails. Branded items can be made stylish and handled by a professional onsite team, leaving you with more than enough time to focus on your clients or employees. Do yourself a favour and look at corporate golf days through a new lens – they can still be wildly successful without costing a fortune or taking hours to plan.
